This review presents a critical appraisal of a recently published book on the political-economic approach to tourism in Portugal. The book is an essay written from a political economy standpoint, grounded in an explicit ideological bias that frames Portugal's commitment to tourism as a curse and attributes to it a series of negative economic, territorial, and social consequences. Throughout the review, we set out the strengths of the work and the reasons why it merits reading, alongside the epistemological and theoretical arguments that lead us to distance ourselves from its anti-tourism perspective. Our text thus constitutes a critique of the critique of tourism as it has developed in Portugal.
